any good x86 assembly programming books?
If you want to learn for DOS then I recommend:
The Revolutionary Guide to Assembly Language and Master Class Assembly Language.Both are by Wrox Press and are damn fine works with plenty of great examples.
As far as Windows in assembly there is only one book currently out there ... Windows Assembly Language and Systems Programming by Barry Kauler. Unfortunately this is meant for Windows 3.1 not 9.X\NT platforms.
I am currently working on an outline for a Win32 ASM book. But, as of right now, the only resources are on the internet.

Actually,
Writing assembly in Windows is FAR easier than anything in DOS. 80% of what you do is make calls to the API.
In DOS you have to worry about segments, and other headache causing stuff. In Windows the memory model is FLAT so you don't have those worries.
Anyway, just some thoughts. Unlike C, ASM sucks to learn on DOS and I have seen many people get discouraged by it, or start thinking that ASM is difficult. There is no valid reason for learning DOS ASM anymore now that DOS is dead. If you plan on using ASM for anything at all in the future I would suggest just learnign Win32 ASM.
Good Luck.

yeah ill try win32 ASM but im not a master at c right now what things do you have to worry about when writing windows programs anything i should know before trying it out
Head over to this web site. It has numerous tutorials that you can check out.
I also have a series of articles for GamDev in the works, which are on game programming in Win32 ASM. They may be of use to you once they come out.
In the meantime check out the site and take a peek at how easy it is.
